I'm very much enjoying all these new Liam interviews that are flooding in. I mean, where else but in a Liam Gallagher interview would you see “here we are now, twenty years later, bored out of our f---ing minds. The party is well and truly over!”? He has his faults (and plenty of them) but at least he's honest.
Anyone else think Liam should give his solo record the title 'The Last Chance To Dance'? Then he could have the cover image be him and one of the girls from the Bring The Light video dancing a foxtrot or something...

No one seems to mention that they did have 13 years of living the life, touring stadiums all over the world as millionaire rock stars after Knebworth. It didn't all just stop after that.

great and honest interview. Liam comes out pretty good in those last interviews and does a great job promoting the movie. Really hope for him his solo stuff will do good too.

“I guess it’s the last chance to dance, know what I mean?” he shrugs. “There’ll be some rock 'n’ roll bangers on there, but also some softer, John Lennon-y things. That’s who I am. You know, I can’t cook. I f---ing refuse to cook. All I can do is, do what I do.”
John Lennony things! jaja, I know a lot of people here that will have a lot of theet grinding about this...
Personaly, I have no problem. I enjoy liams music, and that he keeps honest to what he likes and feels.
Sadly for me, Its a pity that Liam ties this to commercial succes, because we all know he wont have it with this kind of music. I dont know whats the problem of doing the music he likes just for the sake of it.
An other thing I would like to say, is that this guy still gets me with the true honest love he feels for Oasis. Nowdays it seams Noel just see the whole deal as a milking cow which he doesnt even like anymore.

Maybe they'll take hope from this? "A few weeks ago, he signed his first solo deal with Warners, for an album he’s been co-writing and demoing with a raft of unnamed helpers." So, on the core his songs, but the unnamed helpers have co-writes, when we can take that literally, therefore take an influence on the songs?

Incredibly honest interview from Liam.
However, I always find it troubling that he is so willing to bring up Noel's family, so people who either can't or don't defend themselves publicly. Like, is there any REAL reason to bring Sara into it? I don't think Noel has ever heaped blame on anyone but Liam and never engages anyone else except Liam. Liam's tirade against Sara, ironically comes on the heels of him saying that one of them has to grow-up. A bit of growing up might be not bringing up a wife who obviously doesnt do public interviews to defend herself. Liam doesn't come off well in that moment ( the fact that interviewer who is on his side picks up on that too), even though he's quite and we'll meaningly contrite throughout most of the interview.

Exactly! Never liked the term Britpop. Oasis were Rock & Roll through and through, nothing else. Stupid terms dreamed up by the press...

"The stuff that happened was my own doing. S**t happens, and I apologise. I've hurt a lot of people, but that's life"
I wonder if he said that over the phone to nicole when it all came out "well shit happens, thats life, d'you know what I mean?", bit of a stupid thing to say when it was his own choice to cheat on his wife, you cant own it as your own doing then put it down to things just happening or life in general, its either one or the other, that statement is basically saying "Its all my fault but not really because it couldnt be helped"
like I said before I cant really blame sara for not being Liams biggest fan after that, it was a shitty thing to do to someone he was supposed to love and all that game, I highly doubt shes stopping anything though, I doubt Noels saying "I want to do it" and shes closing it down.

A couple of months ago, Noel alleged that Debbie Gwyther was the "unnamed source" spreading rumours of the band getting back together, to British tabloids. And, not family, but we all know about Noel somehow managing to find a way to blame Andy Bell for the fracas that resulted in him walking out, in Paris in '09. As well as Andy, he also blamed Oasis' management and their "lack of support" for him walking - you know, the management that still supports him, 7 years on, while Liam has long since been dropped by them... And "Liam's tirade against Sara"? I agree, mentioning Sara at all was daft and catty, but a "tirade"? Easy on the hyperbole, spaneli...

I don't think its really a tirade against Sara at all, he could well be wrong about it but if he feels that one of the reasons they wouldn't reunite is how Sara feels he's just answered it honestly. You couldn't really blame her given some of Liam's behaviour but Noel wouldn't be the first man/woman to be influenced by there other half. A lot of us are to some degree aren't we?
In regard to "The stuff that happened was my own doing. S**t happens, and I apologise. I've hurt a lot of people, but that's life" I don't know how he is supposed to much deeper into this when talking to a journo, have a 3 page soul bearing exercise for the benefit of the Telegraph readership? He's made some pretty poor choices and you can only hope (and I expect) that he has said more in private to the relevant people than he is willing to put across on the pages of a national newspaper.
In terms of the music, I'm not expecting a experimental rock opera but what I do hope is that his collaborators inject a different sound or feel to his music. Liam's writing has never been clever enough to go down many paths, its natural and instinctive. But it seems like he has been working with a few different people and I'm glad they are Americans as I think they will bring a different perspective to his sound rather than just falling headlong in to british rock n roll expectations.

“It is a shame. I don’t see his kids, he doesn’t see my kids, and it hurts my mum, and all that tackle. It’s all very childish and ridiculous, but there you go. I’m quite enjoying it, actually.”

I think he'll regret all this sibling rivalry when its too late. Possibly, although in Liam's defence it does seem to be more about Noel rejecting any offers of reconciliation as well, which he is perfectly entitled to do as well. FWIW I personally am glad I made up with my siblings, although my mother is not bothered at all about three of her ten siblings due to their carry on's over my late grandparents estate including things of no value aside sentimental that they threw strops about when I point blank told them not everything needed to be sold to finance alimony, alcohol and car addictions respectively!

I fucking hate it when he dragged Sara into this. Doesn't seem like he really want to get his band back, just want to annoy Noel.
